Tyron Smith Isn't A "Cowboy For Life." He Just Got Screwed.
Yesterday, Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith signed an enormous eight-year extension, valued at $110 million over 10 years.

The Ravens Are Trying To Make Us Like Ray Rice Again

Clayton Kershaw Nails Jimmy Kimmel In The Face With A Baseball
Do you want to see Clayton Kershaw hit Jimmy Kimmel in his face with a baseball? You're in luck!

Patriots Screw Panthers, Claim Their Sixth-Round Rookie Running Back
Panthers running back Tyler Gaffney injured his left meniscus last Friday, so his rookie season's already done.

I Do Not Believe Women Provoke Violence, Says Stephen A. Smith, Who Has Said Women Provoke Violence
Earlier today, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith went on television and suggested that women should make sure not to provoke men into beating them.
